We are a small, family owned pumpkin patch in Council Bluffs. We open our backyard to our community every fall and never charge an admission fee. We have a variety of pumpkins, gourds and apples for sale. Come check out our local patch!

Joe and Joan Welch started growing and selling pumpkins over 30 years ago. Together, they plant every seed by hand, weed every row, and pick the perfect pumpkins in hope of creating special memories for local families. Joe and Joan will be at the patch to greet you every weekend and evening!

Opening date is September 26, 2026!
